“I know that people have seen it as a benefit to them medically and physically they’d like to be able to see that, so no I’m not surprised they’re coming forward,” said Poppe.

But she feels the bill needs to be tightened up more before she would be in full support.

“Believe that this is the only relief the only way to relieve their pain or suffering or seizures or whatever but also one that meets the support of law enforcement,” said Poppe.

But you can bet those in support of the changes won’t be going away.

“A lot of them say well we’re not hearing enough about it well I don’t think that the problem. I don’t think enough people are talking about it,” said Poppe.

The current bill in Minnesota says it would be legal to possess, and use up 2.5 ounces of medical marijuana.

However, the State Commissioner of Health would have to approve your medical condition before you could use it.

You would also need to have an I.D. card approved by your doctor.

Representative Poppe says right now Minnesota law enforcement is against legalizing medical marijuana saying the bill’s rules and regulations are not tight enough, and that could de-rail chances of it being passed by lawmakers like Poppe who say they need law enforcement behind the bill before giving their ok.
